As if re-releasing Avatar this summer weren't a questionable enough move for James Cameron, he's also announced a new plan to convert his other epically popular film Titanic into a 3-D experience. It's not hard to imagine why Cameron made this decision : thanks to Avatar, critics are crowing about 3-D as the future of cinema but it is hard to think of a worse movie to be rendered into the third-dimension.
